Former Sex Pistols front man Johnny "Rotten" Lydon's recent TV commercial in the UK for Country Life Butter has had a mixed response by fans of the man's music. Some laugh off the ad (above) which was unveiled in October as just a bit of fun and a way for the musician to make some needed funds. Others, including JAMsponge, who made the song/video "I Can't Believe Johnny Rotten Has Done an Advert for Butter" below, are outraged by the former poster boy for anarchy in the UK who they accuse of "selling out."

that last bit is a quote.
Has Malcolm McLaren finally won the debate about punk? I'd say so.
When I ask McLaren what words he thinks will appear in the opening paragraphs of his obituaries, he doesn't say 'manager' and 'Sex Pistols', although this is clearly what he has in mind. 'I would have thought "skulduggery", "charlatan", "svengali". Or maybe: "The man responsible for turning British culture into a cheap marketing gimmick." -- from here
